Abstract

"Resistance" has a basic role in human individual and social life and the Qur'an mentions it comprehensively. The fight between right and wrong (factor in the formation of resistance) and patience (factor in the continuation of resistance) are two important factors of resistance. According to the Qur'an, first, the fight between right and wrong guarantees the formation of resistance in human beings and second, the scope of the fight between right and wrong, which is in the political, cultural, economic and civilizational dimensions, includes formative, legislative, individual and social affairs. In the worldwide Mahdavi government, the confrontation between right and wrong between the savior and his companions and the opponents of the savior reaches its peak, and the most comprehensive and widespread war between good and evil takes place. Undoubtedly, the wider and deeper the fight, the wider and deeper the resistance. According to Qur'anic and narrative information, to form the reappearance (of Imam Mahdi) and establishment of a worldwide unified government, in addition to the resistance of the leader, the resistance of his companions is essential as well, since in this struggle, all disbelief is opposed to all faiths, and the fate of the Right Front depends on victory in this struggle. Therefore, the Right Front will fight against the enemy with all its power and resistance, and with the use of all earthly and heavenly forces, and will eliminate oppression and injustice from the earth forever, and the result will be the formation of a worldwide government based on right and justice in all arenas around the world. In the current study, the role of resistance in Mahdavi government has been examined through a descriptive-analytical and library method.
